Front bumper question. Help please!!!
I have a 2014 535d looking to change the front bumper to an M package one. Anybody help me with this info. When I called the dealer they said I gotta change more then just the bumper. Any help would be great for this.

There are a lot of extra parts involved... From brackets and bolts to fog lights to vents, there are several differences. If you go to Ebay there are some vendors selling kits that have most of the parts to give you an idea. At least there you can see what is involved. I'm not endorsing the Ebay kits, as I'm sure most of the parts are not OEM BMW parts. I've heard of fitment issues, but the kits are pretty inexpensive. I'm sure others might chime in on whether the ebay kits are worth the trouble.

Here's the parts list for a 2011...a place to start, at least, should you decide to go this route.

I got the M5 bumper from Mod Bargains. When the bumper was being lined up, the issue of plastic underneath came up. Options....$400 in replacing duct work, or some trim work. I went with the latter. |

That looks like what I want. Why does the bottom look empty? That's the look or missing a diffuser? Also I heard if you don't have dogs you can't get then aftermarket? |

lol! FOGS! i was like WTH does dogs have to do with this if you plan on going with aftermarket there's some that are complete kits and some that just sell the front bumper if you already have the fogs. from what i've seen guys who swap there bumpers from a non M to the MSPORT have noted it's just plug n play for the fogs. at least from what was posted. hopefully other's who have done this could chime in regarding the fogs. if you plan on going OEM there a few guys who actually did it right but you can see where the cost adds up with all the parts listed. most guys will just swap the bumper out including the reinforcement bar and call it a day. it's really up to you. There is a post in the M5 forum why M5's don't have foglights if you're thinking about going with the M5 front bumper

This turned out pretty good. the only thing is i heard it's hard to find front spoilers that work with the M5 replica kits.
